In men's division, the Chinese team is in second place and Belarus and Uzbekistan share third place. In women's division, Belarus holds the second position, while Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan took third place. Athletes still have two more team events ahead that require teamwork, unity, and confidence not only in themselves but also in their teammates.

Tomorrow, the teams will compete in the 4x100 fire relay event. On their way to the coveted title, they will have to overcome four stages: climb a house using a ladder, jump over a fence, run through a boom, connect hoses with a coupling, and deal with fire by extinguishing its source.

We wish success to all Belarusian athletes!
